Hey Caolan,
I don't know if you have been following this, but Marek has been
chipping away on your complaints. I wonder if it would make sense for
you to evaluate the state of gtk printing for OOo with GTK+ 2.17.4, and
give us some feedback on what further improvements you think are needed
to make OOo use GtkPrint again in F12.
Sounds good, there are some move upstream
http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Printerpullpages
to basically remodel printing and the printing dialog to fit the mac
print dialog into OOo, which happily aligns matters closer to making the
gtk print dialog stuff less of a bodge. I've got some bits and pieces
hacked together at the moment to fit that model, just need to complete
it.
